The Raptors came out with a half-baked effort that resulted in another embarrassment, ending the calendar year with a 71-125, the team's record losing margin in franchise history.
The Raptors were offensively challenged without RJ Barrett's ability to score and put pressure on the opposing team's defense, along with Gradey Dick's perimeter shooting.
The Raptors' 25% perimeter shooting on 40 attempts feels rich, given how the game played out, while the Celtics were scorching hot with 51.2% on 43 attempts.
The Raptors came into Bean Town with a promise of a sense of urgency and playing a much more committed defense, but some slippage occurred.
